INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR Z HERITAGE

SPECIAL NOTE:   DO NOT COVER EXISTING AIR GAPS BUILT INTO FRAME OF ENCLOSURE!

TO PREVENT FIRE HAZARD, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT FRAME IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED!

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

TOOLS NEEDED:  ELECTRIC DRILL, 3/32” DIAMETER DRILL BIT, AND A #2 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER.

HARDWARE INCLUDES:   8 SHEET METAL SCREWS 1-1/4” LG, 4 PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS 3/8” LG., 4 WASHERS AND  4 INSTALLATION BRACKETS.

1)  It is important that the frame be installed with the correct side up to insure smooth operation of the doors and proper flow of cooling air.  Two bullet catches in the track indicate the top of an FS-2 or CV-1 enclosure.   The Center Wedge Clip located inside the track in the center of the door frame indicates the bottom of a CV-2 enclosure.

2)  Installation using installation brackets (see Diagram A below).  Attach all four installation brackets to outside of the side returns on frame using one 3/8” Phillips head screw and washer per bracket.  There are two holes, top and bottom on side returns, and either one can be used.  After the installation brackets are attached to the frame center the frame over the fireplace and determine if the installation brackets are bent to the correct contour.  If the brackets need to be bent for a better installation the brackets can be bent by hand.  Once the frame is centered and the brackets are positioned correctly the frame can be fastened to the fireplace by inserting two sheet metal screws into each of the installation brackets.  Carefully snug all screws up to the installation bracket making sure you do not over tighten!

3)  Installation for through frame mount (see Diagram B below).  Center the frame over the fireplace.  Mark the fireplace at each hole in the side returns of the frame.  Remove the frame from the fireplace and drill a pilot hole 3/32” diameter at each of the marks.  Reposition the frame into the fireplace and insert the sheet metal screws. Carefully snug all screws up to the installation bracket making sure you do not over tighten!  The enclosure may be centered by loosening one side and tightening the other.
